Eels invite Queen to Royal Festival Hall

Eels' Mark 'E' Everett has invited the Queen to the band's gig at the Royal Festival Hall.

In a letter to the monarch, he offers a guest-list pass to the concert, a free copy his book Things The Grandchildren Should Know and a signed version of his band's new greatest hits album Meet The Eels.

The letter reads: "We have played the Festival Hall several times and I've noticed that your royal box is usually empty.

"I'd like to change that. We have also played your Queen Elizabeth and Royal Albert Halls. I don't think you were at those shows either.

"I recently saw the movie The Queen and while I know that wasn't actually you in the film, it made me think that I would like you as a person.

"I'd like you to be one of the people who call me 'E'. If you're free February 25, please come down to the show."
